Ok. On 7/22/06 I feel at work because some left the company
deposit bag on the floor and I got tangled up in it. I had
a mild sprain to my left hip, knee and ankle. A major
sprain to my right ankle as well as breaking it. My job
requires that I stand for about seven out of eight hours.
After ten weeks I am able to stand for only about one hour
before swelling and discomfort start, after about two hours
I am in extreme pain and must sit with ice and elevation.
That is the back ground. My question is this, I know that
all injuries are on a case by case bases but can a company
force you back to work if the doctor is saying it will be
(might be) several more months until I am able to stand
seven hours? My employeers has been great until now but I
am getting the feeling they think this is taking to long
but what am I to do. I can not do my job given the current
state of my injury.
